kattiegirl 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Anyone had any success with Canadian insurance helping with lap-band costs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
argon 3 Posted September 2, 2006 Nope.... I don't think anyone does/has. You're pretty much on your own with this. Just think... if you eat $133.33 less in food a month, over 10 years, the band will have paid for itself!! LOL You'll also likely live longer, from losing *any* weight, even if not all that you want to. Smaller clothes are cheaper than plus-sizes (any one else agree?). But then again, once you can wear whatever you want, you could go nuts and buy more clothes than ever before! Mandi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CLOE 0 Posted September 2, 2006 LOL.. how did poor Dan get dragged into our shananagans anyway. Oh ya.................YODA!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoda 0 Posted September 3, 2006 Poor Dan!!! If he only knew!!! First she brings him a cookie from TO as a pressie then she gets up in the middle of the night and eats his icecream!!!! (ooops, did I say that out loud?) *giggles*.....don't worry Mandi, we've likely all done it....if not icecream, somethin' else!! (chip dip for me!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
argon 3 Posted September 3, 2006 remember... it was actually a moncton cookie! I just told him it was from TO! LOL And, btw, the ice cream incident was before the cookie incident. I haven't comfortably eaten icecream SINCE my fill! (but I've tried, a couple times!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ragergirl 0 Posted September 8, 2006 Pacific Blue Cross just denied my claim :-(Marie Was that the claim to have the band paid for or the fills ? Im wondering if they will even pay for the fills......wtf does blue cross pay for ???!!!!....LOL not a heck of a lot in my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giblert 0 Posted September 8, 2006 I was hoping that at the very least Blue Cross would pay for my hospital stay. But they denied it all ($13,000). Fills are included in my provincial medical plan (or something like that) so they don't cost anything. Marie Was that the claim to have the band paid for or the fills ?

Time2live 0 Posted September 16, 2006 Welp I'm in Calgary. Right now AB health care is covering it. The Drs here are only doing 25 bands this year because it's their first year but Dr Mitchell said they are covered right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
